Category : Lead Acid Batteries

The answer is YES. Lead-acid is the oldest rechargeable battery in existence. It has retained a market share in applications where newer battery chemistries would either be too expensive or the upkeep would be too demanding. There are simply no cost-effective alternatives for such applications as wheelchairs, scooters, golf carts, people movers and UPS systems.

Invented by the French physician Gaston Plant? in 1859, lead-acid was the first rechargeable battery for commercial use. Today, the flooded lead-acid battery holds a domineering position in automobiles, forklifts and large uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. -----
